Boy Scout Owen Haight, of West Roxbury, in conducting a project to collect and assemble toiletry kits as part of a service project to earn the rank of Eagle Scout.

With the help of other members of Holy Name Troop 7, Haight, a senior at Boston Latin School, will assemble and donate the kits to Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program. Haight has volunteered with the BHCHP Sox for Socks drive at Fenway Park, and said its patients seemed like the perfect focus of his project.

“I am a big fan of what BHCHP does and I wanted to help them in whatever way I could,” said Haight.

BHCHP provides medical care and more to about 11,000 homeless or marginally housed patients at more than 50 locations each year.
